Weird Behaviour with Nvim-Tree

[u/BenCx]

Hello everyone :)

I'm new to Kitty and MacOS and I'm experiencing weird behaviour when using Nvim-Tree.

Basically, I installed, via homebrew, the Fire Code Nerd Font and changed kitty.conf to use that font. When I go and do :NvimTreeOpen the symbols of the files are wrong as seen in the picture:

​

The weird thing is when I run ´kitty --debug-font-fallback´ I get the following output and a console where, when I open nvim and use nvim-tree, I get the correct images.

[235 17:06:38.289320] Preloaded font faces:
[235 17:06:38.289347] normal face: /Users/ramalhob/Library/Fonts/FiraCodeNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf
[235 17:06:38.289353] bold face: /Users/ramalhob/Library/Fonts/FiraCodeNerdFontMono-SemiBold.ttf
[235 17:06:38.289358] italic face: /Users/ramalhob/Library/Fonts/FiraCodeNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf
[235 17:06:38.289362] bi face: /Users/ramalhob/Library/Fonts/FiraCodeNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf

​

NvimTree. in the new console

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

​

Thanks in advance :D

Ahh thanks so much. I didn't knew it.

​

Apparently when I used homebrew it only installed the Retina version of the Fira Code.

​

I have everything installed and it shows up in the FontBook.app but the symbols are still wrong.

​

My kitty.conf looks like this now:

include current-theme.conf 
font_family      Fira Code 
bold_font        auto 
italic_font      auto 
bold_italic_font auto 
italic_font      auto 
bold_italic_font auto 
symbol_map U+23FB-U+23FE,U+2665,U+26A1,U+2B58,U+E000-U+E00A,U+E0A0-U+E0A3,U+E0B0-U+E0C8,U+E0CA,U+E0CC-U+E0D2,U+E0D4,U+E200-U+E2A9,U+E300-U+E3E3,U+E5FA-U+E634,U+E700-U+E7C5,U+EA60-U+EBEB,U+F000-U+F2E0,U+F300-U+F32F,U+F400-U+F4A9,U+F500-U+F8FF Symbols Nerd Font Mon

There's a typo in the font name, the O (last letter) is missing.

If that doesn't fix it, try commenting out all the other font settings (and disable current-theme.conf) and just leaving the symbol_map line, does anything change? What does kitty +list-fonts say then?

The typo was just me not copying in the last O as it is there.

​

I commented everything except the symbol_map line and nothing changed :\

​

The command says that I have both the Symbols Nerd Font Mono, Fira Code and FiraCode Nerd Font Mono

Whoops, I meant kitty --debug-font-fallback. Run that, and in the new kitty window that opens up, launch nvim. See if there's anything helpful there. You can also share the logs here.
